Origin & Craft
Crafted by Cacao Hunters, this dark chocolate is inspired by the dramatic landscape of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where rainforest meets snow-capped peaks. Rising to 5,775 meters above the Caribbean Sea, the Sierra Nevada is the world’s highest coastal mountain range, known for its striking altitude and vast visibility.

Flavor Profile
Bright and fresh. Citrus notes of lemon lead the palate, followed by the crisp, clean acidity of green grapes, giving the chocolate clarity and lift.

Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let the chocolate melt slowly to reveal its fresh citrus character. Enjoy on its own or with water, unsweetened tea, or light black coffee to preserve its aromatic precision.

Summary
A 72% dark chocolate that captures the freshness and elevation of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Clean, citrus-driven, and expressive, it offers a refined interpretation of place through cacao.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
